Vent Restrictors General When air is heated within a firebox it raises into the vent system. This rising air creates a pressure difference within the system, which is called draft. To ensure proper combustion and safety the draft within a system must be between lower and upper limits. Generally as the length of the vent system is increased the draft increases and can reach unacceptable levels. The vent kit restrictor is provided to limit the draft at the firebox when using different length vent systems on a top vent stove. It is very important that a qualified gas tradesman checks and ensures the unit is venting properly. WARNING: IMPROPER VENTING CAN CAUSE UNSAFE OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE, ENSURE THAT A QUALIFIED LICENSED TRADESMAN INSTALLS AND CHECKS THE SYSTEM FOR PROPER VENTING AND DRAFT CONDITIONS. The owner s manual provides charts to guide the installer in choosing the correct restrictor for each individual installation. INSTALLATION 1) Install the vent restrictor at the top of the vent adapter. 2) Choose the vent restrictor according to the charts provided in the owners manual. 3) Bend tabs on vent restrictor so restrictor fits snugly in vent adapter, place the corner of the restrictor in the groove approximately 3 down from the top of the adapter, slide the restrictor down until the opposite corner clips into the groove in the pipe as shown in picture #1. 4) Place a small tack of high temperature sealant (non-silicone based) on each corner of the restrictor to ensure it will stay in place and not rattle. See picture #2 5) Install remaining venting and check to ensure all vent connections are seating properly. 6) Carefully light the appliance several times and ensure there is no flame lifting or ghosting. Carefully monitor the flame and ensure the air adjustment is correct to provide the desired flame and proper burning efficiency. Picture #1 Picture #2 :\pubdata\manual\ventrestrictor_in.pub OM6003.PUB Page 14 DATE PRINTED: 3/13/15

Installation Instructions WARNING: A minimum clearance of 2 to combustibles must be maintained around the vent pipe on horizontal pipe runs and 1 on vertical runs. Simpson Duravent vent systems use twist lock connections. The adaptor attached to the unit connects to the approved venting system. Assemble the vent system using the desired combination of sections and fittings required for your particular installation. While you are assembling the pipe bear in mind the best visual appearance. Seams should be aligned and hidden as much as possible. Make sure you twist the mating section all the way to make a solid connection. Note: As this system is a sealed system, a high temperature sealing compound must be used to seal the metal to metal joint. Vent Pipe Assembly Procedure Apply a bead of high temperature sealant (non-silicone based) to both the 4 exhaust and 6-5/8 intake section of the male pipe. The female section of the pipe/fitting has four indentations evenly spaced around the pipe. These indentations are designed to slide over the male section of the pipe and locate into the four entry slots of the male section of pipe. Twist the female section clockwise a quarter turn to fully lock the sections together. HIGH TEMPERATURE SEALANT (Mil-Pac) DO NOT USE SILICONE BASED SEALANTS Horizontal Wall Vent Terminations The position of the horizontal vent termination must be positioned to meet all local building codes (see termination chart on page 17) Attach the correct length of vertical section pipe and an elbow fitting to the stove. Mark the center line of the pipe facing the wall (allowing for a 1/4 rise per foot of horizontal run). Example 10 ft of horizontal would require a rise of 2.5. NOTE: ALLOWING THE VENT PIPE TO SLOPE DOWN TOWARDS THE VENT TERMINATION COULD CAUSE POOR COMBUSTION AND/OR HIGH TEMPERTURES THAT MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. Mark a 10 x 10 square around the center mark (inside dimensions). Cut and frame the exterior wall to accept the wall penetration heat shield. Install the penetration shield using wood screws. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material a 7 hole sufficient for the vent pipe, is acceptable. Caution: When installing the termination on to vinyl siding, a vinyl siding kit or furring strips must be used. This prevents the termination from being recessed into the siding. C L 10 square hole Siding C L Center of hole Siding standoff When the termination is to be attached to vinyl siding apply a bead of nonhardening mastic around the outside edge to form a seal between the standoff and the termination cap. Attach the termination cap to the exterior wall inserting four wood screws through the holes in the corner of the vent termination. Complete the installation by applying a bead of mastic around the outer edge of the vinyl standoff. With the termination cap installed you can now connect the completed vent assembly by sliding the unit back towards the wall and carefully inserting the pipe into the terminal. Before the final connection is made slide on the decorative wall thimble. Secure the termination cap by securing the termination straps to the pipe as close to the exterior wall as possible using sheet metal screws. Ensure that the straps are hidden by the wall thimble cover. Apply decorative trim if required. 10 Wall penetration heat shield Screws Apply sealant On four sides OM6003.PUB Page 15 DATE PRINTED: 3/13/15

Before sliding the pipe into the termination ensure that you slide the decorative wall thimble cover and penetration heat shield over the pipe. Slide the pipe into the vent, making sure there is at least 1 overlap between the pipe and the terminal. Attach the pipe by attaching two sheet metal screws through the termination straps and into the pipe. Bend back the straps towards the termination cap making sure they are hidden by the decorative thimble. Finally attach the wall penetration heat shield and secure with wood screws. Installation Instructions HOT Vertical Installations Always maintain the 1 clearance around the vent pipe (vertical), when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters or any combustible surfaces. DO NOT PACK AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION. Refer to the vent chart for maximum allowable vertical and horizontal installations. When planning your installation determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the vent system. You may have to use 45 elbows to navigate around any obstacles. When passing through a flat ceiling install a Box/Wall thimble. Cut a 10 square hole and frame as shown in the diagram opposite. Ensure all pipe sections are fully twist locked. Basement Installations To achieve the minimum vertical rise a 36 snorkel may be used. Where the bottom of the terminal may be blocked by snow etc ensure provision is made for adequate drainage. NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES BEFORE INSTALLING VENTING. NECESSARY CLEARANCES AND REQUIRMENTS MAY VARY FROM STATE TO STATE(PROVINCE TO PROVINCE). Minimum 12 Drainage Restrictor Vent Restrictors Due to the extra flow produced by certain venting configurations vent restrictors must be placed in the vent to maintain performance. The vent restrictors come in four sizes. When your installation requires a vent restrictor the correct restrictor is placed inside the vent adaptor collar on the unit. Proper instructions for installing a vent restrictor are included in the vent restrictor kit. Restrictor Sizes 4 Collar attached OM6003.PUB Page 16 DATE PRINTED: 3/13/15

Installation Instructions Through Roof Framing Maintain 10 opening relative to the pitch of the roof. Termination Above Roof Consult local codes for minimum vent cap height above the roof, vent must be a minimum 2 from any wall. 10 square Use a suitable round or square support through the roof.

EXISTING GAS SUPPLY Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked. Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no existing leaks in the system. Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification label and also on the appliance s gas valve. Check the gas pressure to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet pressure for the appliance. Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the appliance. GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION Installation Instructions (Gas Supply) Pedestal Cover Removal The pedestal cover must be carefully removed to access the gas valve and connections. To remove the pedestal cover remove the 4 screws on the sides of the pedestal. Carefully lift the pedestal cover slightly as you pull it forward off of the unit. The lifting is required so that you do not scratch up the base. When the cover is removed you should have easy access for connections and testing purposes. When placing the pedestal cover back on the unit, use the same caution. Carefully lift the cover and slide it over the pedestal, so that you do not scratch the base. Then replace the 4 screws on the sides of the pedestal. ONLY PERSONS LICENSED TO WORK WITH GAS PIPING MAY MAKE THE NECESSARY GAS CONNECTION TO THIS APPLIANCE. YOU ARE NOW READY TO HOOK UP THE GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE GAS PLUMBING INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL STATE/PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL CODES ARE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED. USE APPROVED FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTIONS OR RIGID PIPING, DEPENDING ON PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL CODES, TO ATTACH BURNER TO GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE TO USE PROPER SIZE GAS SUPPLY LINE. CAREFULLY CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS WITH SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. EACH INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL, STATE/PROVINCIAL AND NATIONAL CODES. REFER TO THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, LOCAL ZONING AND CODE AUTHORITIES FOR DETAILS ON INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS. Provide adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections. Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas appliance. The line must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. The installation must provide an easily accessible manual shut-off valve, upstream of the appliance supply connection. When test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kpa) are used, the appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kpa), the appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve. Failure to follow these instructions will damage the appliance s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer s warranty. Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set-screw on the inlet pressure tap (marked IN) on the gas valve with a small screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap. The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kpa) for natural gas and 12.0 in. w.c. (3.00 kpa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48 kpa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and propane. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET-SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE PRESSURE. CHECK ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS.

Installation Instructions PIPING DETAIL Gas Connection: Blaze King recommends that gas connections be made by a licensed and qualified installer. The gas connection supplied is 1/2. The supply pipe can be either rigid or listed flexible connection and/or copper tubing if allowed by state/provincial and local codes. In the USA follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada consult local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation codes. Provide a union downstream of the appliance shut-off valve to allow disconnection of the burner assembly for servicing. High Altitude: In the USA the Contemporary, is approved for altitudes up to 2000 feet (using the factory installed burner orifice). At elevations above 2000 feet, U.S. codes require a decrease in the input rating by replacing the burner orifice. The input should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level (see page 27). Check local gas utility for orifice size identification. In Canada the Contemporary is approved for altitudes up to 4,500 feet (1370 meters). For altitudes above 4,500 feet (1370 meters) consult the local codes for correct derating. Note: The difference in altitude rating is a requirement of certification standards. See page 27 for more information on orifice requirements for high altitude installations. See Addendum on page 31 for pilot instructions AERATION ADJUSTMENT IMPORTANT: Aeration adjustment is critical to the correct functioning of the appliance. Carbon build up, flame lift or any malfunction due to the aeration not being correctly adjusted during installation is NOT covered under the warranty CAUTION: Parts requiring adjustment during operation may be hot. Adjust the air shutter (lever hanging under firebox) as follows: Remove fan plate from the back of the pedestal. Loosen the Robertson (square drive) screw nearest to where the main gas line attaches to the burner. Slide the lever forward for more air and backward for less air. This lever is coupled to the air adjust plate near the main orifice. Tighten the Robertson screw when the setting is correct. Replace the fan plate. Note: Aeration is factory set but may need adjustment for altitude or movement during shipping.

FINAL CHECK INSTALLER: Before leaving the appliance with the customer, you must check the operation of the appliance: Check correct BTU rating by clocking the appliance at 15 minutes (see certification label). Check flame picture. Adjust primary air if required (see page 19). Take time to go through the operation of this unit with the customer. Operating Instructions NOTE: When first fired, the unit will produce an odor. This is normal and is part of the paint curing process, it may be noticeable for at least 4 hours. It is recommended that you open a few windows to ventilate the room. During the first hour smoke detectors in the house may be set off. Following the initial burn-in period, the glass panel may require cleaning. CAUTION: Do not clean the glass when the appliance is hot! When the appliance is cold, firing may cause the glass to fog up. This is due to condensation and is normal. Make yourself familiar with these instruction before operating the appliance. Check any loose electrical wires that may cause a shock. Check around the appliance for gas leaks. IF YOU SMELL GAS, follow the instructions on the front cover of this manual. Check to see that logs are correctly positioned. The pilot light should be visible. Check to make sure that venting is secure. Check all external parts, such as grills, doors and control cover are properly attached and fastened. CAUTION: Do not turn the unit off and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait between firing. Make sure you read this entire manual, especially the lighting instructions on page 5, before you begin stove operation. Keep in mind that your thermostat will only work to control your stove if the ON/ OFF rocker switch is set to the OFF position. The ON position will prevent the thermostat from controlling the stove. When you are lighting your pilot your thermostat should be set to the lowest level and the ON/OFF rocker switch should be set to OFF. TEMPORARY SHUT-DOWN To turn off the main burner only, set the thermostat to the lowest setting or turn remote switch to OFF. Press and turn the knob clockwise to PILOT position.

Operating Instructions FAN OPERATION The convection fan speed control is located on the back of the unit. Turning the control knob all the way counterclockwise will turn off the convection fan. Adjust the blower to the desired speed. NOTE: The fan will turn on once the unit has reached operating temperature. This prevents the discharge of cold air. NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS FIREBOX: You may hear some cracking or ticking sounds on start-up and shut-down. This is due to the expansion and contraction of the steel in the firebox. BLOWER: We use high efficiency fans in our appliances. You may hear a whirring sound when the fan turns on. This will decrease or increase depending on the speed setting of the fan. PILOT FLAME: You may detect a very slight whisper sound from the pilot when it is turned on. These are all normal sounds associated with this type of appliance and should not be considered as defects. IMPORTANT - GLASS CLEANING - WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITS One of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up as a white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from various locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may have the problem for a time and then not see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur content of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various cleaning products with varying results. The following recommendations will not guarantee results in your particular case. Ensure the stove is completely cooled before any glass service work is attempted. 1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a long period of time build up will bake on. It is then much harder, if not impossible, to remove. 2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the immediate effect of lessening the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended. 3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided. 4. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however guarantee the results of these products. a) BRASSO b) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM c) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO d) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King s control and is not covered under warranty. NOTICE: COLD WEATHER OPERATION When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a byproduct of the combustion process. Under normal conditions this moisture is expelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not cause any harm. In extreme cold weather the vapor may condense and freeze on any exposed surface it comes into contact with. This can cause a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with direct vent wall terminations as the exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside wall surface. What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cannot be controlled by the manufacturer. To extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes but not always be an advantage. Extending the vent out from the wall may present other design problems such as ice falling from the eaves above. It is the homeowners responsibility to ensure that there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the termination. CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST FREQUENTLY CHECK THE EXHAUST CAP FOR EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP. If the appliance begins to operate abnormally Poor flame pattern, shutting down, etc., this could be an indication of ice build up. OM6003.PUB Page 26 DATE PRINTED: 3/13/15

Maintenance CAUTION: NEVER CLEAN THE APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS HOT. ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERVICING MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING THE AP- PLIANCE.

Check the vent terminal for any damage, or obstruction by plants or debris accumulation. Once a Year: Open the door assembly and clean the inside of the glass with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and water or a suitable, mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Carefully remove the logs and gently brush off any loose carbon deposits. This job is best done outside the house, wearing a dust mask.the logs are very fragile, take care not to break them. After cleaning, the logs must be replaced as per the instructions in this manual. Have a qualified service technician: Completely inspect the appliance and the venting system. Clean and remove any lint accumulations or debris in the firebox, on the burners, on the pilot, at the primary air opening, on the convection air blower and in any combustion and convection air passage ways. Check the safety system of the gas valve. Pedestal Cover Removal The pedestal cover must be carefully removed to access the gas valve and connections. To remove the pedestal cover remove the 4 screws on the sides of the pedestal. Carefully lift the pedestal cover slightly as you pull it forward off of the unit. The lifting is required so that you do not scratch up the base. When the cover is removed you should have easy access for connections and testing purposes. When placing the pedestal cover back on the unit, use the same caution. Carefully lift the cover and slide it over the pedestal, so that you do not scratch the base. Then replace the 4 screws on the sides of the pedestal. REMOVING THE BURNER ORIFICE 1. Use a 1/2 wrench to loosen and remove the burner orifice. 2. Change the orifice.
